VERSE 1
Blacktop hummin under worn out wheels, demons drummin in the cracks of the steel. I ain’t runnin tonight, not from ghosts, not from pain, not from the memories that ride like a storm in my brain. Got a trunk full of moments that I’m tryin to rewrite, nights I should’ve died, days I barely survived. Songs of a road.. a ghost I outdrove, every scar on my arm is a story I’ve wrote. I was raised in fire, built in the smoke, I was one bad night from the end of the rope. I was breathin in anger, exhalin regret, tryin to outrun the things I could barely forget. But I’ve clawed my way back with my teeth in the dirt, turned my pain into purpose, turned my blood into work…I been judged by the broken, been blamed by the blind, been told I was worthless by people behind. But the engine kept runnin like it carried my heart, and the road kept on teachin me just how to restart…
HOOK
I got redemption on the blacktop, vengeance deep in my chest , I ain’t lookin for forgiveness, I’m just prayin for rest. If the past wanna chase me, let it run out of breath, I survived what was tryin to love me to death. Now I ain’t beggin for mercy, ain’t bowin to fear, I’m just drivin through shadows that brought me right here…
VERSE 2
I been broke, I been beat, I been lost in the dark, but the engine kept runnin like it’s carried my heart. I been doubted by many, been trusted by few, been the villain in many stories that were never true. I been left in the cold by the ones I held close, been the punchline of rumors that cut to the bone. But the night kept on whisperin that I wasn’t done, that the man I could be was still waitin to come. So I gripped on the wheel like it held my last breath, like the road was the only thing keepin me left. I been drivin through storms that would buckle a man, but I learned how to stand when the world said I can’t. Now the night’s gettin quiet and the road’s gettin clear, and the man that I’m facin ain’t controlled by the fear. If the devil wants a rematch, he can wait in the rain, I ain’t givin him nothin but the echo of pain. I been tempered by struggle, been sharpened by loss, been humbled by moments that showed me the cost. But the strength that I carry ain’t somethin I planned, it was carved from the weight of the life I withstand.
HOOK
I got redemption on the blacktop, vengeance deep in my chest, I ain’t lookin for forgiveness, I just pray for some rest. If the past wanna chase me, let it run out of breath, I survived what was tryin to love me to death. I ain’t beggin for mercy, ain’t bowin to fear, I’m just drivin through shadows that brought me right here…
BRIDGE
I ain’t perfect but I’m present. Ain’t a saint but I’m breathin. Ain’t a hero but I’m here, and that’s enough for this evenin. Every mile that I travel is a mile I reclaim, every breath that I’m takin is a break in the chain. I ain’t runnin from demons, I’m just changin the route, and the man that I’m becomin is the one climbin out…
